Behind The Scenes

You, Me and The Circus – Behind the scenes still photography by Samantha Fielding.

This was an exceptional project to work on. A dear friend asked if I wanted to run away with the circus. How could I possibly say no? We shot this independent movie in a Los Angeles studio where I found myself part of this incredible, dedicated & dreamy atmosphere. Marlon and Ty are beautiful spirits which made the cast and crew feel right at home, happily giving 100% of themselves. Fine actors, make-up and sparkling costumes on a 15 day shoot brought the crew a special bond as we created this magical project. Thus began my daunting job of editing 6,000 images. I am currently working with Omar and Ty on a project of bringing the finer images to a coffee table book that will showcase this intensely, beautiful movie. I hope to announce the release soon. Stay tuned for updates on my blog.

The film was produced by Omar Epps (Love & Basketball, House), Marlon Ollivierre, Seth Caplan and Ty Hodges and stars Matt Dallas (Kyle XY) as Max/HIM, Anita Briem (Journey To The Center of the Earth) as Bo/HER, Ty Hodges as Ralph/LIPS and Melonie Diaz (Raising Victor Vargus, Hamlet 2) as Andrea/BF, Erin Cummings (Bitch Slap, Detroit 1-8-7) as Khloe, Amy Correa-Bell as Leslie, and introduces Ashley Applewhite as Sabrina. Marlon Wayans (GI Joe, White Chicks), Columbus Short (Stomp The Yard, Armored, The Losers) and Omar Epps make scene-stealing cameos.

I teamed up again with the fabulous and wonderful words and wardrobe team Lisa and Henny for this white on white story. We wanted to capture the end of summer and add an eerie feel. Our model got the concept and worked her magic by twisting her body into some interesting shapes. I was trying to channel Nick Knights inspiration.

Good Night Gilda

November 11, 2011 by sam fielding

I had the pleasure of shooting the new range for Good Night Gilda this year. The luxury Lingerie collection, designed for the larger cup woman with a Hollywood twist. Whitney Galitz, Creator of Good Night Gilda and I had worked on a feature last year where we sparked a good relationship. I was over the moon when she asked me to shoot her new collection.

This year she made a grand entrance into the intimate apparel market with a spectacular collection of luxury lingerie that fuses modern comfort with classic Hollywood glamour.

Whitney decided to create Good Night Gilda to cater to the real American woman who come in a wider range of body shapes and sizes.

A devout fan of the unapologetic heroines of Hollywood, she drew inspiration from the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth those titular femme fatale characters from the noir classic “Gilda” ultimately became the name of her brand. These elegant timeless pieces range from $78 for thongs to $315 for robes.

Their song Dirty gets stuck in your brain. Its just one of those songs you cannot remove. They have a Kings of Leon sound with strong vocals and catchy rhythms. Check out the song “Everybody is Alright’ at the bottom of the blog too.

Mr Toby Moore.

October 19, 2011 by sam fielding

Critically acclaimed for his work in both film and theatre, Toby Moore is considered to be one of the rising stars of Hollywood. Moore made his way onto the scene when he starred in “Murder in Greenwich,” back in 2002.

From there, Moore appeared in “CSI: Miami”,” “Law and Order” and “First Daughter” with Katie Holmes, Marc Blucas and Michael Keaton. One of his most notable roles was Finny in “A Separate Peace.”

Noted as a young hot actor to watch, Moore will star in “Burger Kings,” directed by Scott Kalvert (Basketball Diaries) and will play the lead role in “Playing with the Enemy,” a war movie based on a true story that involved Moore’s grandfather. The movie is slated to be released in June 2012 and was written by Writer/Producer David Ranes.

For the last few years Moore has been concentrating on theatre and has had some well-received shows both in America and internationally. Most recently he played the coveted role of Christian in Cyrano de Bergerac.

Moore’s upcoming roles in films are already generating industry buzz and will surely make him a household name within the year.
